2012 The new Audi A6 Allroad quattro

Available in two iterations - the SE and the S Line, the new A6 will be sporting 4 engine sizes when it ships, ranging from 2.0l right up to 3.0l and a choice of either Diesel or Petrol. The less expensive option is of course the SE, but don't for a second think that compromises quality. Interior is typical Audi class with a blend of fine woods and Milano leather intended to give that premium business feel. An excellent Bang and Olufsen audio system accompanies the interior comforts, with a total of 15 speakers and many of the technology used taken from their renowned BeoLab 5 home speaker range. An incredibly powerful 1200 watt amplifier drives the system, while the CD player incorporates SD card slots to enable playback of portable storage and mp3 files. Moving to the exterior of the car we get Alloy wheels as standard with both models and a handy electromagnetic parking assistant sensor, so keeping your priceless Au di A6 away from those dreaded curbs has never been easier.

Confirmed prices for the new A6 are excellent value for money; for the 2.0l model of the standard A6 you'll only need to pay £34,355 which keeps it firmly in line with that of its competitor the BMW 5 series. Don't underestimate the size of the engine either, as the 2.0l still has more than enough grunt at 177bhp to get you where you want with time to spare. Not to mention the cheerfully low emission output of only 129 g/km that should make saving up for your next luxury purchase a lot easier. This is definitely shaping up to be a great purchase for any businessman who wants a high performance sports car that doesn't compromise on quality and luxury. Offering a healthy number of engines at launch and with a choice of diesel of petrol, there should be something for everybody. Put this on your list as its one to watch out for without doubt.

The new Audi A6 Allroad quattro is developed on the base of current generation Audi A6 Avant, just like the first generation. From the stock A6 the difference is air suspension, different bumpers, different grill, quattro Four wheel drive and other elements already in the stock model.

First generation Audi A6 Allroad quattro appeared in 2000. It remained as the only car of this class. It was so, because with the same ideology made Subaru Outback and Volvo XC70 were not its direct competitors, since they were smaller and cheaper. At the time the Audi brand direct competitors BMW and Mercedes-Benz were more focused on the SUV's - X5 and ML. Soon Audi did the same with Q7. However Audi also made a new A6 Allroad quattro.
